Get your point but like I said Charlie throw the int deep to Wallace and was no need for it and Pitt had good field position and plenty of time on the clock. Anyhow my point is we need a good back up if that comes through the draft or free agency does not matter but needs to happen. We can no longer expect Ben to go through a season without missing a few games.

I agree and this is definitely Charlie's last season (or better be). I would only feel better with a Garrard, Hasselbeck, than wasting a young pick on another team's "QB of the future" when he left in four years.

Huh? You would rather have a young kid with no experience behind a line you say yourself is sh!++y? We would be in a WORSE position with a young kid against the Ravens next week than with say, Lefty. They would eat him up. You develop young QBs to be a future starter, which is not going to happen with Ben as #1. Stick with a veteran who can read defenses and get it out.

Last I checked some of these rookie qbs are doing pretty good this year. Yes I will take a chance on one of them then two has been qbs that lost there starting jobs on other teams for a reason and continue to age.

Yeah, but we are not going to get RGIII or an Andrew Luck in the draft. Nor would any QB we draft get the first team snaps all season long like they all get. They would be thrown to the wolves in a mid-season injury situation where they have not seen snaps in 3 months.
